We stayed at PH over Memorial Day weekend (5/23 - 5/26) and for the most part enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and we had enough room to move around (it was 4 of us, 3 girls, 1 guy. Thank goodness for the large bathroom :)). Room also looked just like the pictures. Arrived at 11:30 that morning and was immediately checked in. Staff was very friendly. Planet Dailies had good food for reasonable prices. Location of hotel is the best as it is in the middle of the strip. you just walk out of the hotel onto the strip and decide if you want to go to the left or right :) Also loved the Miracle Mile Shops. It was nice to be able to walk around and pick up anything that you may have forgotten. The casino was nice as well but didnt spend a lot of time in it. Only went to the pool once, PH should think about upgrading the pool area since you can equate it to getting in your pool in your backyard. My only complaint about PH is the night club Prive.
We tried to go that Sunday night and had a terrible experience. After standing in line for over an hour (mind you we were there before they even started letting people in so we were right up front) to get into a so NOT crowded club, one of the host was trying to get some of his friends in and trying to get them to jump the line.
Make a long story short, he walked up to us and said "move or be moved", some words were exchanged, he instructed his clients to, and I quote, "just knock them over"and then it really turned into a big scene. It was a big mess and the people working at Prive are ignorant and disrespectful. There were a lot of witnesses to the incident as there were more people waiting in line than were actually in the club and many of them walked off because they couldnt believe what had just happened and because they had been standing in line waiting for over an hour as well.
They were actually picking and choosing who they were going to let in the club and if you didnt look a certain way, well you were not getting in. Its is really sad to witness this type of discrimination in 2009, but what can you say. It is their club and they can let in who they would like.
My suggestion for people of color, older couples, foreigners (unless asian), people not willing to pay the bouncers $100 plus to get pass the rope (and still have to pay to get in once you get up the escalator), and for people who dont like to go out naked reading this, just go to another club and dont waiste your time at Prive. Security at PH was very helpful and after the incident provided us with the corporate number and address to call and lodge a complaint as the employees of Prive are not employed by PH. Will something be done, probably not, but we will NEVER EVER attempt to go to Prive again. But PH may want to be careful because if instances like this continue, future guests may associate Prive with PH and decide not to stay at PH ever again.
